  1. communicating with CNA's

    HappyJaxRN replied to beaglelover's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think it should be encouraged. I find a lot of times the information that they get from CNA to CNA is outdated or just simply incorrect. We work on a specialized unit in a hospital and most of the...

  4. University of Phoenix Online for BSN

    HappyJaxRN replied to luv2shopp85's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No, but I can say that the school is highly recommended. It's also very expensive, but I think well worth it. I live in Jacksonville and it is a top notch private university. I'm still going to UOP...

  5. African American Care

    HappyJaxRN replied to CametoitlateTexan's topic in General Nursing

    Omgosh...I'm so glad you came back with this. I wanted to rebut on this, but since I'm not black, I can't say....only what I've experienced as a nurse. Not all black people don't want you looking...

  6. How often do you play hooky?

    HappyJaxRN replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    I've called off before when I wasn't physically sick. I remember when I was scheduled for 3 in a row and had 2 really bad nights. Not enough help, too many total care patients, no sympathy, but...

  7. what are your thoughts...

    HappyJaxRN replied to kk2000's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts? Are you sure you want them?? That's pathetic. Very pathetic. Whoever put a diaper on him and told him to poop in his own pants like an infant needs to put diapers on and be strapped to...

    HappyJaxRN replied to treddrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wow...I've read nothing but positive posts about UOP. I just spoke to a counselor yesterday and hope to be starting March 1st. I'm totally psyched about getting back to get my BSN!!! This is awesome....

    HappyJaxRN replied to MCG25's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt the same way. I was asked a ton of questions I wasn't familiar with. I had 170 something questions tho. I was asked a lot of prioritizing questions and a lot of meds, some lab values and a TON...

    HappyJaxRN replied to Templar1961's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah....:yeahthat:

  15. Is It Worth It?

    HappyJaxRN replied to Templar1961's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Without a doubt. No matter how bad it gets; the good always foreshadows the bad and makes it WELL worth it. This is what's in my heart. I'm a nurse for life. And proud of it.

  16. Role Playing

    HappyJaxRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    One of the members came up with an awesome concept. Well, I don't know if he/she came up with it, but I was enjoying the learning process. Role playing. What a great idea. Set up a scenerio and have...

    HappyJaxRN replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

  18. Asking Questions

    HappyJaxRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do any of you who have been a nurse for a year have problems asking questions to the more experienced nurses about things you SHOULD know? I had a question the other day about the use of that (can't...

  19. Barbaric doctor or oversensitive nurse?

    HappyJaxRN replied to littlefeet's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    That's totally unacceptable! Every single lumbar pucture I saw preformed on a pediatric patient from a 2 year old to a 9 year old, the MD had the kid SEDATED....This poor kid! That's

  20. Near Death Experience

    HappyJaxRN replied to nursemelani's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. When I work the hospice cases, the pts tell me about how they go and see the people that passed away before them. Some say that they go to heaven, others just say someplace. They report...

  22. Near Death Experience

    HappyJaxRN replied to nursemelani's topic in General Nursing

    I wondered that too. Any hallucinagenic. I think subconscious things surface, but I wonder about those people who state that they have NDE-like episodes, if they aren't really having

  23. Near Death Experience

    HappyJaxRN replied to nursemelani's topic in General Nursing

    After my mom had her lung transplant, she had some complications. Once she was out of the woods, she woke up and told me that she remembers being in a row boat (this was a dream she had when she was...

  24. Dansko Shoes are killing my feet!!!

    HappyJaxRN replied to Carianne's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Did you do a google search? Look on eBay for new shoes of that size? I bet you'll find em. My grandmother said she had the same problem with shoes. >>edited: I found a bunch of new shoes in your...

  25. Dansko Shoes are killing my feet!!!

    HappyJaxRN replied to Carianne's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    That's an idea. If you can't bring them to the store for a refund, then try contacting the company directly. If that doesn't work...people buy used shoes all the time on eBay.
